Tertiary Qualifications Framework

Accredited Programmes

The Tertiary Qualifications Framework (TQF) was first published by the University Council of Jamaica in 2003. The TQF Handbook (2019), an update to the 2003 edition, provides detailed descriptions of tertiary-level qualifications being offered in the higher education and training system in Jamaica, including how they are classified, interpreted and valued. The TQF is aligned to the qualifications reflected at the tertiary level in the National Qualifications Framework of Jamaica (NQF-J, 2017).
